A basket of dolls

Well, I finished those dolls that I mention back in this post. It's funny how when you work on them, you love the one your working on and then the next one and next one.

Some of the dolls have button eyes and the other's are painted on. I did some with winter dresses and other's everyday. Now they are ready to go to new homes. These are some snowmen that I finished up. The snowman face I am thinking about doing a wreath with it but not sure yet. There are gingerbread men in the works, more snowmen, some angels and more surprise's on the sewing table. I listed the santa ornies that I posted about here. You can find them on Etsy ,or Ebay. I am working on a giveaway also ,so watch for that coming up soon. Till next time

Apple pie...

Don't you just love the smell of fresh Apple pie baking in the oven? This morning after getting the kids off to school I baked an Apple pie to give to a friend of ours. It always makes the house smell so good... The apples I received from a friend who has lots and lots of apples. I baked a pie for us earlier in the week , made apple crisp, and froze some and then to use the last of them up I bake this pie to give to a friend. When the pie was baking I did some cleaning and then crafted on these naked dolls. As you can see I did not get to far on them. Then I had a hair appointment in the afternoon, and deliver some papers before 3 when the kids are done with school. Erika, was looking at all my fabric I have and wanted me to make a baby bib last night.When she got home from school she asked if I had then finished. LOL I had started but they were not finished. This is the finish bibs. I don't even remember buying that fabric but it is so cute. One bib is for a mystery baby that she wants to give to.I think it might be her teachers baby :). I will find out on Monday when she gives it. The other she wants to give to this precious girl...Rachel My first grandbaby, and Erika's first niece. How could I not find the time to sew up that request!! Take care.....till next time Colleen

New background.....

Hi everyone! Time has just been flying by and I have not been able to work on the computer or my crafts like I want too!! I hope to get working on crafts again this week and more free blog templates and templates for Ebay. When the kids went back to school I thought I would get to work on my crafts and templates more, but I have been doing all those chores around the house that during those summer days you just don't get around to. So today I really wanted to finish up two free blog templates and I did!! I even have one to list on Ebay tomorrow. It feels good to do it again. :)

The free new background is the one I am using. I like those cute girls!!

Below is the code for it if you would like to add it to your blog.<style type="text/css">body {background-image:url("http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii25/colleenscraftshed/blog/OGHall3.png");background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; }</style><div style="position:absolute; top:30px; left:20px;border:0px;"><a href="http://colleenscraftshedd.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" width="91"src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii25/colleenscraftshed/blog/bbutton2.jpg"height="94" /></a></></div> The other fall background I will post tomorrow because it is time to tuck in my little guy for the night.
